So you can get even more glare out of those 2000 housings than with a single HID kit!? Sweet! I'm all for senselessly blinding people to increase cool factor so here you go:

9003 Hi/low HID kit

Ebay has a trillion of them, they are called Bi Xenon or Hi/Low HIDS.

He didn't state that he wanted bi-xenon. Most of the cheaper hi/lo HID kits do it that way.

Plus, I was just being a facetious glare ****, I couldn't care less whether he gets bi-xenon, what I linked, or a single kit... They will all glare badly in that housing.

I am pretty sure he is wanting the HID's with the high and low beam, NOT the low beam HID and high beam halogen. And yes, HID's in our housings glare like a SOB, and that's why I removed mine.

Yeah I didn't think it could be so bad until I saw one of the local 5th gen guys showing off his new HIDs. There are a few trucks around here who have done the same thing and you can recognize their glare from a 1/2 mile away on the other side of the highway... lol

Also, the halogen high beam on those 9003 HID kits suck complete ***. I refused to use my highbeams when I had the HID lows.

I posted in another thread about how to minimize the glare from 2000 housing. I modded the shield on the bulb to block the light from the bottom of the housing as that is what causes the upward glare that kills oncoming traffic. here are some pics of what I did and the light cutoff. the pics were taken with my cell phone and it is daylight out so the light is not as defined as at night.





this is just a shot of the led fogs that I use for daytime running lights

this is with the lights off

This has to be stickied somewhere, you will get smashed on if you suggest putting HID kits in an 00/01 housing

You're just looking for a Bi-Xenon HID kit.

Would it glare if you got aftermarket headlights? Like the ones off ebay?

Yes, if you get the reflector ones. Not really, if you get the projector ones.

You are totally right... Bi-xenon would definitely blind other drivers more effectively than the ones with incandescent high beams.

How about retrofitting some of the H1 mini projectors into your housings? Easy installation and your light output will be WAY BETTER than your current setup or any kit. Best of all, NO GLARE!

You can get them at theretrofitsource.com
